About the author
Jorge Luis Borges
1,590 books14.4k followersJorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges Acevedo was an Argentine short-story writer, essayist, poet and translator regarded as a key figure in Spanish-language and international literature. His best-known works, Ficciones (transl. Fictions) and El Aleph (transl. The Aleph), published in the 1940s, are collections of short stories exploring motifs such as dreams, labyrinths, chance, infinity, archives, mirrors, fictional writers and mythology. Borges's works have contributed to philosophical literature and the fantasy genre, and have had a major influence on the magic realist movement in 20th century Latin American literature.
Born in Buenos Aires, Borges later moved with his family to Switzerland in 1914, where he studied at the Collège de Genève. The family travelled widely in Europe, including Spain. On his return to Argentina in 1921, Borges began publishing his poems and essays in surrealist literary journals. He also worked as a librarian and public lecturer. In 1955, he was appointed director of the National Public Library and professor of English Literature at the University of Buenos Aires. He became completely blind by the age of 55. Scholars have suggested that his progressive blindness helped him to create innovative literary symbols through imagination. By the 1960s, his work was translated and published widely in the United States and Europe. Borges himself was fluent in several languages.
In 1961, he came to international attention when he received the first Formentor Prize, which he shared with Samuel Beckett. In 1971, he won the Jerusalem Prize. His international reputation was consolidated in the 1960s, aided by the growing number of English translations, the Latin American Boom, and by the success of Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. He dedicated his final work, The Conspirators, to the city of Geneva, Switzerland. Writer and essayist J.M. Coetzee said of him: "He, more than anyone, renovated the language of fiction and thus opened the way to a remarkable generation of Spanish-American novelists."

Sin duda una de las mejoras obras de Borges. De los siete relatos, seis son perfectos, tanto por su ejecución como por recrear el jardín del título en las interpretaciones que despiertan en el lector.

Una obra interesante, dónde el autor abandona su característico academicismo por una narrativa más convencional pero aún así logrando plasmar una experiencia inmersiva, metafísica y filosófica, quizá no es el trabajo más complejo de Borges, pero sin duda alguna su solidez lo nomina cómo uno de los mejor logrados.

Este libro marca el inicio del Borges plenamente metafísico, con cuentos que exploran el tiempo, el destino y la multiplicidad de realidades. A través de tramas policiales y filosóficas, el autor propone laberintos narrativos que desafían la lectura tradicional.
